To My Friends

Don't give up on LJ.  Please.

Yes, the service is lousy at the moment but that's because it's under attack. LJ is liable to such attacks because it serves as a major platform for the anti-Putin opposition in Russia. Tell yourself you're suffering (if you can call it suffering) for someone else's freedom of speech and bear your discomforts with pride.

I've finally got on by jury rigging like crazy but it isn't likely to last!

I'm now using DW as my home but will continue to attempt to x post.

I'd certainly advise creating a DW account as backup and backing up your blog onto it- it's easy enough to do.

This does _not_ appear to be another ddos or spambot attack however.

Hmmm...what is the problem here then? I am so non-tech oriented that I wouldn't know how to tell a Ddos attack form, Frank nibbling on the wires! LJ says it's an uptick in "malicious traffic" and that translates to Ddos in my head.
Just addded you here, btw.
